Today, 3 years ago, I realized that you were ready to go home, but I was not ready to accept it. Little did I know that when you sent Brittany and I on a search for Life Savers, it really was not for the Life Saver candy that we were in search of. We are now approaching 3 years since you left this earthly home to go to your heavenly home. Time seems to stand still sometimes and it is really hard to believe you are not here. I see, hear and smell things that remind me of you each and every day. I miss you so much, but remember that it will only be a short time that I will only have to cling to the memories that we have. I know you would be so proud of Brittany and the kids for how they have progressed. They still miss you and we talk about you every time we get together. I know that you had a great reunion when Nanny joined you and can hear you and her laughing it up. I can hear you telling Uncle Gene you will shine his head for a nickel. I hear your jokes, see your smile and smell your smoked boston butt! But nothing that I remember, makes me miss you more than the daily calls you made to me, just to make sure I was ok. If only I could get one more phone call. I so love and miss you...… til i see you again. Love..Mom
